Seems pretty aggressive, tone it down a bit and people will see this as some constrictive criticism instead of just ignoring your points.

Stardrive 2 does look like it will have more meat that 1 ever did. Like the idea of turn based with instanced combat, always enjoyed that in SOTS2

It was inevitable.

Psh bit of an overstatement. Plus there's Dwarf Therapist for super easy militia-ing.

Because it would be too simple. Check out Gnomoria.

Can't wait for climbing goblins, now lava moats look even more appealing early game.

At least you have chicken wings, all I have is beer.

Still plenty of blasterbomb love thought.

Have you given out your first infraction yet?

You don't have any soldiers assigned to the transports.

The best thing is the ability to scale up the Battlescape, now you can see more than a square foot at a time. That and some custom shaders that make the pixels slightly easier on the eye, I used to play the game for long periods way back then and it really taxed the eyes.

From favorite to least. Gal Civ 2 - only thing holding it back is no multiplayer. Distant Worlds Universe - UI is a chore and automation is finicky but well worth it if you love depth. Sword of the Stars 2 - after the awful release it eventually became a must play, even if the first 100 turns of any game seem to take weeks to get started. SM's Alpha Centauri - Only because Civ in space and that it was awesome. Sins - lol.

No, new engine would be best, the current one has too many limitations.
